Even if you did manage to make it fit the shape of the bonnet would just make the headlight look same shape as golf ones wouldn't it? Kinda defeating the object.  :lipsrsealed:

have you fitted a square into a round hole??



it's the headlight area which causes the issues! the golf bonnet curves to fit round the lights
